Auction house Sotheby’s is set to showcase jewelry and artworks crafted by talents in the UAE at a Dubai exhibition titled “Made in the Emirates,” from Oct. 4 to 7.
The pieces bring together a range of design influences, from reimagined traditional Emirati symbols and motifs to modern takes on art deco.
The artists on view are represented by Engage101, a platform centered around a quarterly sale of non-gallery represented artists based in the Gulf.
The mission of the co-founders, Munira Al-Sayegh and writer Gaith Abdulla, is to connect emerging artists with collectors and elevate the voice of the arts scene from the region, according to a released statement.
